Jiang Li looked at the clan elder with hopeful eyes, wishing he could clarify his doubts.
But the elder simply rolled his eyes and said irritably, "I am just a Clan Elder of the Jiang family. Do you think I have complete understanding of the Emperor's secrets?"
Saying this, the Clan Elder slowly turned and walked toward the side of the hall, continuing, "I am telling you all this just to let you know that within the Great Zhou, the Emperor is almost invincible, like the Earth Deity within his Divine Domain. Even if you are ambitious, you must know your limits and not foolishly stick your neck out, lest you lose your life in vain."
"It is precisely because I know the Emperor's formidable power that I hold no hope for our family's resurgence. Having already fled, how could we possibly think of returning."
"So, you want me to be ambitious?" Jiang Li asked, following behind.
